“Alleluia, Christ is Born!” the debut Christmas single from husband and wife duo Brad and Joanie Perry, better known to fans as Alabaster Grace, is gaining traction at Christian radio with more than 43 stations already placing the song in rotation following its release from Westar Media Group.

“Alleluia, Christ is Born!” is the highly anticipated follow-up to the duo’s most recent single, “Wait Upon the Lord.” The new Christmas hymn, as well as its accompanying lyric video, reveals a deeply reverential, acoustic rendition of classic Christmas themes which encourages listeners to embrace the quiet mystery of the birth of Christ.

“Alabaster Grace’s new Christmas single is a great song to celebrate Jesus’ birth!” says Westar Media Group’s Kathryn Livingston. “This is a wonderful song for the holiday season.”

Alabaster Grace’s Brad Perry, a highly decorated former NASA rocket scientist, and his wife, Joanie Perry, a dedicated educator, worked together with Corey Pavlosky, founder of Pipe Dream Studios, who served as the producer and recording engineer for “Alleluia, Christ is Born!” to create the tender acoustic rendering for this special Christmas song.

“Working with Alabaster Grace was a pleasure from beginning to end, keeping the authentic and guitar-centered presence of the song while enhancing it with orchestral instruments. It was a blast working together as a team on this beautiful song!” says Pavlosky.

“On a cold morning, while reflecting upon the birth of Jesus, a moving melody emerged with the simple words, “Alleluia, Christ is born,” says Brad Perry. “These words became the chorus of a song that declares the birth, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

“I wanted this song to have a contemplative and calming feel reminiscent of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” adds Joanie Perry. “I personally love that the bridge offers the hopeful plea, ‘Holy Child, shine on us.’”

The arrangement, which highlights Joanie’s voice and Brad’s classically influenced acoustic guitar, draws its inspiration from the bookend scriptures of Matthew 1:23 NIV — The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel (which means “God with us”), and Romans 6:23 ESV — For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

“As people experience our first Christmas song, our hope is that they take time to reflect on the essential message: Alleluia, Christ is born, and He is Lord!”

Husband and wife duo Alabaster Grace’s latest single, “Heal Our Land,” has been resonating with listeners across the America since their recent performance of the song at the state of Virginia’s 56th annual Commonwealth Prayer Breakfast before an audience that included Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin.

Brad Perry, a highly decorated former NASA rocket scientist, and his wife, Joanie Perry, a dedicated educator—together known professionally as Alabaster Grace—have committed their creativity, intellect, and passion to make music that is thoughtful, insightful, and reverent.

“Heal Our Land” checks each of those boxes and then some. The song, which released to Christian radio stations across the country from Westar Media Group, was penned by Joanie Perry, Alabaster Grace’s primary songwriter, with guitar arrangement by the group’s guitarist, Brad Perry. “Heal Our Land” was produced by multiple Dove Award-winning producer Chris Bevins (producer and keyboards for Selah, Salvador, Jaci Velasquez, Christine D’Clario).

Joanie Perry’s beautiful vocals are complemented by Brad Perry’s innovative lead guitar. The powerful production elevates the impassioned lyrics, and the studio version of the song features Joanie and Brad Perry backed by some of Nashville’s finest musicians, including drummer Dan Needham (Amy Grant, Jeremy Camp, Michael McDonald, Sting), guitarist Mike Payne (Casting Crowns, Francesca Battistelli, Mandisa, Lauren Daigle, Natalie Grant), and bassist Jacob Lowery (Gaither Vocal Band, Seth & Nirva).

Radio stations and listeners are responding to the song’s powerful message.

“’Heal Our Land’ is a timely message of the power of prayer as we seek the Lord for guidance to get through each day,” says Colleen Dick, General Manager, WWIP FM 89.1—The Word in Praise: Contemporary Christian Music.

Lynn White of radioforlife.org. says, “I love ‘Heal Our Land’ because, through the presentation, it reminds me that God loves me enough…to humble myself before Him and that my sins will be forgiven.”

Kathryn Livingston, Client Services Manager for Westar Media Group, echoes the sentiment, saying the song is “relevant and touching, and one that everyone can relate to. Alabaster Grace recorded a powerful song that will give you hope for the future.”

Alabaster Grace affirms the heart behind the song.

“‘Heal Our Land’ is based on 2 Chronicles 7:14,” says Joanie Perry. “This song is our prayer for our country, asking God to forgive our sins as we repent and turn back to Him. Just as in the time of Israel’s departure from God, the words of Hosea the prophet are ringing in our ears: ‘Come, let us return to the Lord; for He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up.’ (Hosea 6:1, NKJV). It’s time for our country to return to God so He can heal our land!”

“We’ve heard this scripture many times, and probably memorized it. But this song is a positive reminder and motivator to put its words into action,” says Ted Hering, KVIP.

“Our hopes and prayers are that everyone hearing this song will be drawn close to Jesus,” says Brad Perry.
